Now we looked again and came up with an independent shed behind the coop where the woodpile is. It would have four runs comeing out the front of it, 3' wide and 10 - 12' long, with separate hutches for each inside with a metal or wooden slide to secure them at night. A 3' aisle in for us in...

My mistake, I did mean the porcelains that she's sending. Lavenders are another one I don't have, but that's it for different variations of chickens for this year!

So danged cute!! :love Now you make me really want them and glad she said she'll throw a few eggs of theirs in my 2-dozen. I had previously shied away due to the need to breed back something in a few years for feather/color quality but how hard is that really if I have the pens? Well, that...

He's a beautiful roo! It's so cool when we get sweet ones too! I

Cute story. The guy that came yesterday to get the 7 chicks that hatched a couple days ago was very talkative and bragging about all the different chickens, goats, peacocks, guineas, ducks, geese, etc. he had, telling me all about them. When I marveled at all he was telling me, he rolled his...

Awe, well...if this helps, this is pasted from my One Note where I keep...you guessed it, notes. I paste or retype them there from posts or websites as I learn something. It's pretty much the whole thing, yet, offspring isn't on here, or those words "split to XX". Plus, one little tidbit...

Awe, were there any in that batch of Post Office football box? I'd be sad to know there were. I'm excited now that Slothinc told me the black mottled, should one be roo, counts as a black! I have plenty of black hens, but no black roos.

And I didn't see you already realized that when I replied to explain again. :lau But hey, I need all the info I can get as some of this is just a lot of wishful thinking but I already do have the potential for more paints with the blue rooster. Seriously about the mottled? I didn't know...

This is why I said I wasn't holding my breath to get any dominant whites out of these, but I'll still breed a white roo to a paint and also just make some white chicks as peeps have been asking for them. I do have one black hen from that paint breeder so wonder about putting her with the blue...

I read that too, thus why I really wasn't into getting any of them, but since I was buying hers mostly for the buffs and lemon cuckoos, I just opted to get a few of them from her. The buffs didn't sound as difficult if I just keep buffs to themselves. I do have one frizzle buff that's 3.5 mos...

The white idea with paint is complicated. It's either... I get lucky and I'd get a rare dominant white roo, I could get 50% paints, or that one bred to black would be 100% paints. I'm not holding my breath on that. More logically, it'd be 2nd generation ones to do it. I have a blue rooster...

Well, for the first time, I have a Brinsea 56EX completely loaded with 64 eggs. I couldn't squeeze another in there if I tried, and I did. I had to take my Govee out and replace it with a miniature one. They are: 7 white silkies. 11 mixed color fancy silkies - both of these are shipped...

Thanks Janie. It sure was a mystery. Hubby called me while I was gone and had already stuck her in the freezer the day before, so we could do an "autopsy" of a rudimentary sort; neither of us know what we're looking for. I assume the basics of seeing if she was egg-bound, but after that...

Silkies are some of the most friendliest chickens there are. You really should keep a couple! I have a couple hatching from those I set before I left for Cancun. They were due tomorrow. I'll post those in a couple of days when all hatched and fluffy. I think they'll all be spoken for as I...

Thank you, Janie. ❤️ I really had a great time but home sweet home!

I filed for SSI last Friday, and cutting my transcription to nearly half so I can juggle some more. More time for BYC too! OMG as if I don't hang out in here enough as it is already. :old Seriously, outside of my hubby and the usual things, the two things that bring me joy and smiles the...

I just saw the coolest thing! I was sitting here in my home office typing as usual and glanced out the window to see one of our 6-week-old mottled silkies running across the yard with Mini, our old and tiny black silkie chasing after it. I ran outside and found them up against the house with...

Now Stella is watching over them, just like she watches over the chicks in the brooder. No, she's not thinking about her next meal. :gig She's been good with the chicks, but I realize, this is like sticking an ice cream cone in front of a two-year-old and telling them not to touch it. The...

I have had Sophie, a B&G macaw for over 20 years. Julio is one of the same we rescued about 10 years ago. Yup, an old pro except these are so little in comparison!

You're right. I am worrying already about this. When he gets home we'll talk about it but he will agree as he feels more sorry for them than I do. I unplug heaters all the time to find out he plugged them back in. 😳
